RantTooltip  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 0.28
by: Stuck [More]

RantTooltip (GUI) Options here.

(NOTE: If you plan on using a layout other than the default layout, you need to delete the RantTooltip_Layout folder first.)

RantTooltip is a tooltip addon that was influenced by oUF to include a layout system for tooltips. You'll find it very similar to oUF. A sample layout is included, based on p3lim's oUF layout. It was designed to match p3lim's layout due to my personal use of it. I take no credit for the design.

The documentation included in the zip file should give you all the information you need on how you create your own tooltip layout.

For everyone who prefers the original RantTooltip look, I've uploaded a layout called RantTooltip Classic.

-[Rum] (Stuck)

0.28 - "<" and ">" will now be colored according to the tag variable the encompass.
- The last player's talent spec will now be cached. This will stop the "Loading" text from flashing in some cases.

0.27 - Colons next to tag variables are no longer colored to be consistent with the adjacent variable. This was conflicting with tag updates.
- Added two more new tags: $curshort and $maxshort. These variables will display health and power values but will reduce their size if necessary.
- For example: 125000 becomes 125k. 1500000 becomes 1.5m.
- Added a $spec tag which will display the player's current spec - their talent tree with the most points in it.
- Do not use $spec and $talents in the same conditional. It will not work. If you want them on the same line, put them in separate conditionals, like this:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec]}{ ($talents)}",
instead of:
Code:
"{Talents: [$spec] ($talents)}",

0.26 - Added $talents tag which displays the player's talents.
- Fixed a small issue with tag updates.
- Fixed an error concerning layouts without raid icons or combat icons.
- Various small changes.

0.25 - Fixed a few errors involving the DeleteLine function and unit tags.
- Updated the library.
- Other minor changes.

0.24 - Fixed a tag update issues that concerned "$target".
- Added PreOnSizeChanged and PostOnSizeChanged functions for every tooltip.
- Fixed an issue concerning GameTooltip.FindLine in the library.

0.23 - Updated a few things.
- Colons are now colored according to the tag variable to the left of them.
- Fixed and changed the library.
- Cleaned up code.
- Other miscellaneous changes.

0.22 - Fixed a conflict with GearScore. GearScore tooltip text now displays properly.
-Add override functions (i.e.):
GameTooltip.OverrideSetDefaultAnchor(self, parent)
GameTooltip:PreSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PostSetUnit(unit)
GameTooltip:PreOnShow()
GameTooltip:PostOnShow()
GameTooltip:PreOnHide()
GameTooltip:PostOnHide()
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdateHealthBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:OverrideUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PreUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)
GameTooltip:PostUpdatePowerBar(bar, cur, max)

0.21 - Fixed health bar text, fixed text color, and a few other things changed.

0.2 - Updated to fix memory problem.

My mistake. Fixed for the next version. Thanks.

I had to change the formula to " - layout.anchor[2]" rather than + (and then use a positive X value) to get the tooltip to the left of my cursor.

Also, changing the scale to for example 0.8 causes the formula to act weird, I just can't mimic the same result (bottom-right edge of the tooltip = cursor anchor) when the scale is changed.

Any ideas or I am being dumb?
Fixed.

The problem with negative offsets on the CURSOR anchor was fixed a version or two ago.

You're right about the scale interference. I didn't notice that. I'll get to fixing it.

I'm having this issue too. I disabled tekCompare (the compare addon I use) and the problem went away. Notably, this problem persists even with TipTac - so I'm guessing it is an issue with the compare addons (equipcompare, tekComparee etc etc).

Delete RantTooltip_Options. =)

Since I've added the GUI, I've changed very little of the actual tooltip. The only stuff I've really changed was small bug fixes and whatnot.

Vytae, I don't understand. You can do this yourself by setting those variables. I take it you're not happy with having to reset the config to your settings each time?

Rant has been changed in such a way that you can keep your old config from version to version. As long as you only ignore boolean (true/false) variables with new config versions, it will still run and load all your settings fine. The only thing you would have to pay attention to is new color variables or something, but I don't expect to add any new color settings. Maybe I could rewrite a few things to make it more foolproof. That way even if there were no color variables in the config it would just use default ones.

Maybe I don't fully understand what you're asking though.

Caldar, that information doesn't help me to fix it that much. Could you try disabling your addons until you pinpoint which addon is interfering with the tooltips?

A lite version of rant please

just curious if you could do a "lite" version of your tooltip. just having the default border, default background, item border color, guild name color, default edgefile, default status bar, etc (see below)

It seems with each new version more and more stuff(or fluff) is added and it's more things I have to cut off in the config to do what rant started out as being and that's minimal addon the changes things for the better regarding the tooltip. I am just looking for something small and simple that does what's listed below

-=-=-=-layout-=-=-=-
showRealm
-realmAsterisk
showGuild

showPvP
showCombat
showRaidIcon
showTitles

anchor: blizz default
edgeFile: blizz default
statusBar: blizz default

-=-=-=-colorScheme-=-=-=-
border: blizz default
backdrop: blizz default
guild: Keep
playerClass
itemBorder
reactionBorder


Thanks for listening to this small request

Hi,

I updated from R56, and I always set:
ToolTip Anchor: RIGHT
Anchor X: -100
Anchor Y: 0
So the tooltip was placed in the middle of the right side, right infront of the two Blizzard-actionbars.

With R58 the Anchor X field doesn't accept '-' anymore ... and now the tooltip is placed directly on the actionsbars ...

Could you please allow '-' again?
(Setting it to LEFT with an value eg. of 1200 doesn't bring the same result, so its not an real option for my UI.)

Thanks in advance, and have a nice day

Added GUI options.

Once again, I still want this to be a lightweight mod. If you don't have any use for GUI Options (like me), you can just delete them.

If you come across a bug and your config gets meddled with, just hit the Defaults button on the bottomleft.

RantTooltip now displays QuestHelper lines
Dude.... bad ass =]
I second this emotion!

Stuck, that was the last piece in the puzzle to make this my perfect choice of a tooltip addon. Thank you so much for all your work!
